Anyone else seen this?
2013 Model S
Since it got hot this summer (3 weeks), I have had clear sticky fluid (like an adhesive) dripping from below the screen, into the cubby, and down into my center console. At first I thought it was from the rearview mirror after my windshield had to be replaced recently, since he left a drip oozing down the windshield itself. But nothing is present at the mirror attachment.
I wiped the top edge of the cubby and my sunglasses case inside repeatedly, and the clear honey-consistency adhesive keeps appearing freshly in drips. Now it seems clear that it is coming out of the center stack/touchscreen.
Yesterday what seems to be large air-fluid levels appeared on the right border of my touchscreen (see photos). When I push on the area, nothing happens, it is not displaceable. My theory is that adhesive layers in the touchscreen mounting have broken down, allowing air into a space that is supposed to be sealed. Is my touch screen melting in the heat? It is still working fine so far.
Other thoughts?
Should my extended warranty cover this?
I have a pre-scheduled appointment with service next week for a tire rotation and will add this to the punch list.
